Reported by Hari on 2009-12-04 18:03 NVDA 2009.1 does not correctly identify certain dollar amount if written in the following format. $10.01 If there is zero after a decimal (or point sign) - as shown in the example, NVDA says xx dollars xx -- in this example, ten dollars zero one instead noting ten dollar and zero one cent. Note, this occurs only when using NVDA keyboard commands: NVDA+down-arrow or numpad-plus.

Comment 1 by jteh on 2009-12-04 21:29 This depends on the speech synthesiser you are using. With eSpeak with punctuation disabled, NVDA says dollar ten point zero one. With eSpeak and punctuation enabled, NVDA says dollar ten dot zero one. We could add a speech dictionary entry to make it ten dollars and one cent, but I'm not sure I'd want this. It is extremely verbose and also distances you from the real text somewhat. I'll leave this open for now nevertheless in case others have comments.

Comment 2 by aleksey_s on 2010-08-01 21:05 I believe this must be closed as wontfix. Such text processing should be left to the synth. Also, we can't do it for each locale NVDA is working with.
